That’s because it relies on a cellular connection rather than internet, so someone needs to
send you an SMS text. There’s no option to receive automatic in app alerts. This also means your DIY security system is essentially a local alarm — meaning if a burglar breaks in, your alarm will activate, but the police won’t be alerted. You’ll have to pay for one of the professional monitoring plans to save
yourself the task of keeping a constant eye on the video feed. That said, SimpliSafe’s plans are still some of the most cost effective in the industry its most expensive plan is still $10 cheaper than Frontpoint’s least expensive. Whether you choose to monitor yourself or have professionals do it for you, you’ll still be charged.

However, neither protocol provides the bandwidth that you get with Wi Fi, which is why it is usually used in security cameras to provide smooth video streaming, and in other devices that require a fat pipe. Moreover, Z Wave and Zigbee devices are connected and controlled using a hub, while Wi Fi devices can be connected directly to your home network and controlled with an app. Finally, Z Wave and Zigbee devices use AES 128 encryption, and since they operate in a closed system with a dedicated hub, they offer more security than Wi Fi devices. Any smart security system worth its salt offers components that work together in a seamless environment and can be manipulated using customized rules. For example, you can create rules to have the lights turn on when motion is detected, have your doors unlock when a smoke alarm goes off, and have a camera begin
recording when a sensor is triggered. Some systems store recorded video locally on an SD card or a solid state drive, while others offer cloud storage. Locally stored video is a good choice for do it yourselfers on a budget, but you have to be careful not to overwrite video you may need later. Cloud storage makes it easy to store and access recorded video, but it can cost hundreds of dollars per year depending on your subscription. Some systems offer both cloud storage and local storage, and some provide a dedicated storage drive that gives you DVR capabilities with time lapse recording, which makes it easy to find a video
event that took place at a specific point in time. All of the systems we've tested feature an app that lets you use your smartphone as your command center to arm and disarm the system, create rules, add and delete components, and receive push notifications when alarms are triggered. Most apps also allow you to do things like view live and recorded video, lock and unlock doors, change thermostat settings, and silence alarms.

So, now that we know the difference between two specific types of security equipment, we should move towards finding out how to get the best product. In the past, when hardwired home security systems were already well known and established, the wireless technology came knocking, giving us an alternative to the wall smashing, cable hell that hardwired systems produced. Obviously, in its first years, wireless home security was unstable, thus unreliable and despite its more convenient nature, these security holes as well as its higher price usually turned people away and back to the traditional hardwired systems. Quickly, this un
reliability motif turned into a stamp that was slapped over anything involving wireless home security and
although reliability and stability constantly went up during the years, people still preferred traditional methods over it. Nowadays, wireless home security more than caught up to its hardwired counter part in what involves the aforementioned factors of stability and reliability and although some are still reluctant to it, it's gained a lot in credibility as well. The only inconvenient is its higher price, but seeing how it offers the same performance and security as a hardwired system in a much more convenient, easy to maintain form, you should make an effort and dig deeper in your pocket to get a wireless home security system.
